[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a normal, bright child, then redshirting seems crazy. They're going to be bored repeating the same grade, they should be with children at similar maturity levels and you're going to give the kid an inferiority complex. [b]They're going to wonder why they were held back when kids who are the same age moved ahead[/b]. [/quote]

Do you think parents don’t talk to bright four and five year olds? If you ask my daughter why she is in preK another year she’ll tell you it’s to learn more of her second language and do more global travel. She’s not weeping about being “held back”[/quote]

Are you seriously asking me to take a preschooler's word for it? [/quote]

Makes a heck of a lot more sense than taking some random angry person on the internet’s word for how a hypothetical kid she’s never met and doesn’t care about feels. [/quote]

I've had several four year olds. You're going to be shocked when your kid gets a little older and starts developing her own opinions and doesn't just repeat whatever you tell her.  [/quote]

What, you think you’re the only parent here? I think someone had you pegged earlier. Your kids are adults and you troll here doling out worthless opinions and advice nobody asked for.[/quote]
